Tue, 07 Jan 2014 22:10:52 +0000http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=690793#comment-265716They listed the Waiters pick as “blowing it” and the Thompson pick as “underwhelming” yet mentioned both as part of Cleveland’s “strong” line up? Which is it? Or were you expecting either of them to turn into LBJ?

Tue, 07 Jan 2014 20:40:10 +0000http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=690793#comment-265682Although it’s very true that Thompson has not evolved into the player we all expected, he was very raw to begin with. His numbers are decent for a professional athlete at 22, and I see potential there. If Waiters could grow up, he would be quite an asset as well.

I don’t see how the Bulls win on ANY level with this trade…a protected pick (Kings) which they might not ever see at least while it matters, not enough money to go after a max player, with plenty of unresolved issues in regards to their future. Butler’s rookie contract coming to an end while this year he’s only making 1.1 mil (!), the decision to keep/let go of Hinrich who has been very instrumental in their success, Dunleavy and a heap of other issues regarding their reserves. Of course trades are always an option however, who in their right mind is looking to obtain Dunleavy at his current asking price??? Don’t worry, I’ll wait.

Cavs are the clear winners here.

Can’t believe they weren’t even mentioned. Could have gotten under cap, avoided repeater tax to boot AND tanked: http://socraticgadfly.blogspot.com/2014/01/the-la-lakers-are-now-officially-idiots.html

Tue, 07 Jan 2014 18:05:33 +0000http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=690793#comment-265631I mean the Bulls have 2 or 3 games on those teams (except wizards) so it’s pretty easy to lose those without Deng in about 50 games

Losers? Really? Please explain.
I think the Bulls will probably fall behind them and it’s not anywhere near guaranteed the Cavs will be good enough to jump over. Ain’t nothing changed…

Tue, 07 Jan 2014 17:35:04 +0000http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=690793#comment-265619you can expect thumbs downs until heat fans know for sure where he’ll land. i have this strange feeling they are now taking offense to anything negative said as it pertains to bynum because they almost feel he is theirs. until he finds a landing spot, you can expect negative feedback on your negative feedback of bynum.

The Bulls owner will trim his payroll this season by shedding Deng, though Chicago must still pay Bynum a little more than $1 million.”

Tue, 07 Jan 2014 15:38:16 +0000http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=690793#comment-265565Tristan Thompson must have ignored PBT’s interview requests in the past, because they are always hating on this guy. Is he ever going to be a star? Probably not. But, what percentage of top 5 picks really end up being stars/superstars? It’s probably 25% at best.

The guy is averaging 11.9 and 9.8 in his 3rd year (he’s only freaking 22). Sure, he takes 10 shots a game and is shooting around 45%, but don’t you think that will improve as he gets older?

Dear PBT: Stop drinking the Haterade. And I’m not even a Cavs fan.

Tue, 07 Jan 2014 15:16:20 +0000http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=690793#comment-265559Getting to the rim at will means nothing if you’re not finishing, and anyone shooting 42% isn’t finishing at the rim.

Tue, 07 Jan 2014 14:42:24 +0000http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=690793#comment-265546Smart move by the Cavs to structure Bynums contract the way they did this offseason. Even if he would have never played at all for the Cavs this season it turned into a pretty nice trade asset.

Tue, 07 Jan 2014 14:33:38 +0000http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=690793#comment-265542Any trade that involves you getting Bynum makes you the loser plain and simple. He’s an unconscionable lazy jerk who will take your money and give you nothing in return and he’s just fine with that. He’s the basketball version of Albert Haynesworth.

Tue, 07 Jan 2014 14:23:05 +0000http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=690793#comment-265538Dion Waiters is actually a decent young player with alot of upside. He’s shooting 42% but he gets to the rim at will, has a fiery attitude, and he’s a tough competitor. I’d say it wasn’t a bad pick overall. Bennett on the other hand, looks like a pretty damn awful player.
